Sporty Upscale Chronographs

The Tony Parker Racing Touch Watch is Stylishly Suave

— November 13, 2011 — Fashion
Typical products from NBA stars are often comprised of a ton of shoes; however, the Tony Parker Racing Touch Watch shows that some basketball players like to dabble in more upscale fashion.

Seeing the Tony Parker Racing Touch Watch is a bit of a surprise considering the type of endorsements the majority of basketball stars usually get. The accessory is an exquisite piece from Tissot, which is a reputable Swiss brand that Parker also happens to be a global ambassador for. The watch has 11 touch-activated functions making it a convenient multifunctional device. The chronograph function operates as a personal trainer to the wearer due to its ability to record and save up to 99 lap times to track progress. The Racing Touch also has dual time-zone capability, a compass and a tide-calculator “to cater for optimized hours spent at sea or on the beach,” according to Tissot.
